THat Abend.log is unfortunately useless, we need to see Abend 1. Yours
starts with Abend 9 ,which is virtually always collateral damage.

However you will probably not find an abend 1 in your log because after
the series which starts with "abend 9", the next series starts with "abend
3" so that 1 and 2 are missing inbetween.
All in all, it looks like this could be s storage (driver) related abend.
So the first thing to do is to check whether the firmware of your RAID
controller is up to date and update your mega_sas.ham driver. Your
mega_sas driver in fact is outdated, you have version 1.06.5 while the
latest version is 1.12 and is available here:

BTW what kind of hardrware are you using?

in addition to what Massimo and Marcel have said please check in BIOS
whether hyperthreading is disabled and update the BX2.LAN driver from
version 4.42 to 5.01.
Good luck
